Juan Blanco Uribe

Born in Bogotá Colombia in 1988.

Understanding ourselves as the producers of meaning but at the same time as well as audience, respectively receptors, I am particularly interested in the way how receive information that surrounds us, for example via mass-media, internet, devices like smartphones, augmented reality, public spheres etc., and how we interact with those stimuli.

There is no doubt that the existence and the mechanisms of those modern means of communication has not only drastically changed the way we relate ourselves with the context we live in, but also raised the flow of information, as well as the migration as humans and therefore ideas. This fact demands to rethink and to reformulate a possible definition of 'objectivity', 'reality' and 'truth'.
